Sir or madam the third one is Kumar, he went to White Castle long before he applied to Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital

And then left that show to join the Obama administration. Seriously.

I was sure this was a troll when it happened, but no, it was real. Does anyone know if he did a good job?

As I recall, he was a perfectly competent staff member. I think he worked on the speechwriting team? It was a while ago, now, so I don’t remember most of the details.

Iirc, he only worked in the first Obama administration, and then returned to Hollywood. Apparently, having a perfectly normal job for four years was enough.

I believe Obama tweeted about it when he left and that he did

So the White House didn't kill him off when he left there; that's good.

Slight spoiler for House if you haven't seen it.

spoilerThey had his character on House commit suicide to write him out of the show. It was very unexpected.

I’ve binged through the show a bunch of times, myself
